To the shouts of "our land, our lands" the major demonstration marked a substantial public awakening of the Armenian consciousness in Soviet Armenia. The Kremlin taking into account the demands of the demonstrators, commissioned a memorial for the genocide. The memorial, on Tsitsernakaberd hill, was completed in 1967.

Following the example of this demonstration, similar protests were made throughout the world, in whichever country the Armenian diaspora exists. Since the day of the protests, Armenians (and other Soviets as well) to this day visit the memorial and make protests around the world to gain acceptance of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey.
